With whom or what do we wrestle?

Do you ever really spend alone time with God? Or do life's distractions take away your focus? I have trouble concentrating at times and seem to wrestle with various demands on my time.

In Gen 32-36, we see Jacob wrestling with God. He is worried about his upcoming meeting with his estranged brother Esau. But during the struggle, Jacob makes a request....he wants God to bless him. Seems as though he eventually was able to focus.

During our struggles in life, we might be wise to focus on God for a while. Our pride, our worries, and our desire to be the solution cause us to "go it alone" for a while. A chord of 2 or 3 is stronger than 1.
